The Dallas Stars lose 4–3 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, and this game felt over long before the final horn.
In this episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan breaks down another Stars performance plagued by terrible defensive coverage, a lack of urgency, undisciplined penalties, and a compete level that keeps disappearing. Even if Dallas had won in overtime, the problems would still be impossible to ignore.
Using on-screen screenshots, this episode shows exactly how the Stars continue to blow coverage in every situation—five-on-five, penalty kill, and three-on-three overtime. The breakdowns aren’t subtle. They’re systemic. And they’re happening night after night.
This wasn’t bad luck.
It wasn’t officiating.
It was self-inflicted hockey.
Yes, there were individual bright spots, but they were drowned out by a team-wide failure to skate, defend, and respond when adversity hit.
If you’re frustrated watching this team right now, you’re not overreacting.
You’re paying attention.
